Hi dislplin01

I actually used that flash recovery ROM multiple times with selecting the LGE Optimus One as the model. The Optimus T (P509) was not explicitly listed as an option.

As you can see this is what I have running and according to the software the recovery rom is installed but I cannot get into it. No matter what button combinations I press or select the restart into recovery mode, the phone always makes a factory reset.

This is what is so confusing to me.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
It is the LG optimus one that is your phone that is its official name Optimus One p509 to be exact. 509 cause your with tmobile if you look in the development. Section the is a thread that will give you links to "how too" on all of this if you are still having trouble I am responding to my pm,s just slow cause I'm at work till 9:30 California. Time cause I'm I. San Francisco after I get off I can go into detail more when I'm at my computer maybe ill make a video or something
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikasb32:
Come on guys don't used rom manager to flash recovery i said that like 40-50 time there are many people having same problem to flash recovery used lgmdp or terminal method and once again don't used rom manager to flash recovery.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
Yea use the guides first what he said it is safe but I am almost posative our device is support now. You can even see it in his list in the pick lge. Optimus one I flashed it before it worked fine
[Optimus One, P500, V General] dislplin01:
I just flashed clockwork mod thru rom. Manager it worked fine why do you suggest not useing it ¿?????
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cekuhnen:
Yes I have the Optimus T P509 like you have with T-Mobile.

So there is a known issue with the recovery ROM flashing - this might explain it.

vikasb32 I am glad you know all this - I dont. Maybe you guys could think about simple manuals for doing certain phones.

This is the same issue like with my 3D software - all the info is burried in forum threads which you know but not new users - and I am googeling for this already since days.

If you have any pointers please provide some links as a random note does not really help ;(

I'm on a mission. We aren't dead or a legacy device just yet. I feel we've been put here too early to make room for other phones threads. We still have updates to our roms. That's not low activity. Sure we aren't high traffic here but there's still plenty of users.

Anything you wanna chat about? Questions? This is after all the general thread.

Hey if I post enough times they will let me post in the development section. So I end up killing two birds with one stone.;)

Have to say I'm glad that there is a place like xda for people to share their ideas and work. Otherwise I would probably have upgraded my little hero by now. Still actually enjoy the little phone. When I get tired of it I switch roms and boom got a new phone.

Where I live all we have is 3g so don't really figure it pays to upgrade til sprint figures out what they are doing with their 4g.
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
Man I remember when this forum was hoppin. I knew nothing of android. Just lurking and reading whatever I could understand. Now.. I develop for it :D And all thanks to XDA. Almost everything I learned, I learned here. It takes a lot of time reading and searching and understanding.

New users. Feel free to post here if you can't post in the development threads. Just please refrain from "stupid" questions that can easily be answered with a search. Please read the forum rules. I beg of you. They are there for a good reason. Us senior members remember what it was like being new here but it gets old answering the same questions over and over. I will be glad to help or discuss anything here. And please use the Thanks button. I'm a complete whore over it. I'll admit it. But I do return a lot of them too.

Shameless plug time :)

Try out Team Hydra's Zero Hero Sense 3.5!! It's what Sprint should have left us with!!
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
just want to pop in and say thank you to all the devs for letting me come in late to the hero life cycle and still use this awesome little phone like its brand new. coming from the xdandroid builds on winmo phones to the vogue with android port and now to the hero, im not giving up on this thing for a long time to come. legacy is not a word to use for this device yet.
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
Exactly. We aren't technically low-activity IMO. Just quiet users who are afraid to post maybe. I know my reputation is the resident prick here but that's changed. Those of us older members remember what it was like here and why I took that stance. I could look in my history again and find some really good examples of why I was the way I was, and maybe still am. I hear the shooter forums are quite the riot and I've stayed away for a reason.
[Hero CDMA General] whoshotjr2006:
hey every section needs a resident prick lol, it keeps us all on topic

dont be afraid to be that prick, tell it how it is and things will flow smoother
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:

[Hero CDMA General] Ebaum1:
I was a lurker for a while until I finally got the balls to actually root my phone and now I cant get enough of flashing different ROMs.....and making my own Splash screens.

I wish I would have done this a year ago!!!

Only been one here not even a month getting my toes wet. I wish I had time to invest in really learning these systems.

I have got to hand it you all the devs that spend there time this stuff.

[Hero CDMA General] fargond71:
After the hero really wanted another HTC device. The hero is/was tough, easy in your hand, for its time pretty awesome. Have been worried about Samsung since the last two devices my brother had were Samsung devices and during his contact every couple of months he would Have to get a new one because it would crap out. the last one he had was the moment.my daughter now has had it for as long as he did and it still works fine. I in the end went with the sg II. Gotta say that at this point don't regret it one bit. The screen is just gorgeous. Had out next to the wife's regular evo and just way out shone hers. touchwiz is not sense but is very nice and really smooth. My only question is going to be reliability. On a different note I really like the team hydra boys and would have liked to have followed them. If I could have been patient I would have held out for the nexus. So to make a long story longer take a look at the forums for each phone and read a few threads and see if the current users are dealing with problems you can't live with. Last I checked the bootloader on the photon was still locked and I wanted an unlocked phone. I couldn't live with that. Just my $2.02.

Edit: just realized how all over the place this post is. Darn kids and their talking to me....lol
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
No I appreciate this post a lot. I really do. I care more about the opinions I get here then I do say co workers. You guys see what we can do. Girlfriends and wives have somewhat of an understanding....... But sometimes I wonder if anyone does realize the hours we spend on creating something the end user honestly appreciates for about 30 mins depending on the setup. IMO that's how long I truly judge a new ROM. Sure neat little features are nice to find but I'm too technical about the way I judge I guess. That's probably why I actually enjoy troubleshooting anything. Even if I never figure out why. I always learn something I didn't before. I'm rambling now... I'm bored. Compiling ICS Evervolv so my sandbox is busy and I can't play :( I'm more of a hands on guy.

[Hero CDMA General] desertfox154:
I've had my hero since March, 2010 and being completely frustrated and getting sick of my stock heroc was the best thing ever. I decided, "Screw it, I don't care if I brick the thing, but 2.1 is not staying on this phone", so I'm incredibly happy I found xda a couple of months ago, because I'm running 2.3.4 and it's brought new life to my phone. It's crazy how much more stable this release is than the official 2.1 that was released to Sprint users, and a complete disgrace to the people who's job it was to support this phone before they decided it wasn't worth it.

Keep up the great work everybody, and looking forward to maybe an ics with working camera/mms at some point? Because the ROMs I've played with are pretty nice so far.

Floored

So, I was venturing though the forums and came across this neck of the woods. Now, I don't own a Hero CDMA but my son uses an old one he got from his mom as gaming machine (toddler games). I have to say though, I am floored there is still active development going on for this phone. It truly amazes me what you guys can do with older hardware, I mean CM 7.1 is nothing to thumb your noes at! So I just wanted to say kudos, and any plans to bring cm7.2 to this little device?

I still have my Hero and for now going to keep it. I have been using it for a GPS speedo, mp3 player, etc... for out in the boat. It hasnt been activated for about 9 months now but I am thinking of activating it for my primary (and only) phone for my side business. My Hero has been a great phone and I cant see myself getting rid of it just yet. I am also thinking of trying out a few different roms on it.

The Hero was my first android phone over 3 years ago and its been great and still is. I havent forgot about the Hero community what so ever. I still check in here all the time. :D
[Hero CDMA General] hareofthedog:
I still use mine as well as a gps device (runkeeper), it has been rock solid for this purpose, and with the little neoprene pack I wear running, I don't have to worry about roasting my new phone (gets a little warm sitting there on my lower back). Plus, me fall down sometimes, and it can take a beating..

I just installed jaybob's cm 7.2 flavored rom, 'cause I could.

Nice. I'll have to hold my HTC hero very dearly to me for awhile. Upgrade is up but I'm just too broke right now to afford a new phone. :( Hopefully development for these phones don't come to a end soon even though it seems a lot of developers are moving on to the newer HTC phones.

Paint comes off the buttons though. :silly:
[Hero CDMA General] cytherian:
^ It's a silver metallic coating that is scratch sensitive. However, I've had my Hero for over 2 years now and it is barely showing signs of use on the button panel. I make sure I don't press buttons with my fingernails... that's the real culprit to the silver coating on the buttons being rubbed off. You can also buy protectors to go over it.

I ran into a weird problem with my Hero, where the menu button stopped functioning properly. It would intermittently mimic the home button. This was very frustrating as some apps use only the menu button to activate a settings screen. The problem started getting worse and I was planning to abandon the Hero (I've been due for an upgrade over a year now), when suddenly the button started working normally again. I chalk it up to carbon buildup inside that somehow managed to work itself out.

I'm very glad I waited as this prompted me to finally step up and flash a ROM to the phone (CM7), which has turned out to be very liberating. I didn't realize just how much more powerful the phone could be. HTC/Sprint really limited this device from its maximum capabilities... and as we've come to learn, all in the name of profit making. If you're not tired of your Hero, you don't buy a new phone! Yet, look at stereo components. Manufacturers didn't incorporate such limitations in their products. The cellular phone arena is a bit different, though... I figure mainly due to how fast new technology comes out for cellphones and manufacturers are eager to make new sales on it.

If only the Hero had gotten a more powerful processor at the time it came out, though. There is some lag you really can't hide from, especially noticeable when directly compared to an Evo. On its own, the Hero stands strong. It's such a resilient phone in many respects. Yet.. inevitably even the developers most dedicated to seeing the Hero survive will eventually max out on frustration with the limited processor and move on. Who knows... there might be a couple of very talented developers who will feel perpetually motivated to see what can be done within those confines. Look at the old Commodore 64, making a rebirth! There's actually people coding for it... can you believe it?
[Hero CDMA General] kjjjjshab:
Yeah, mine was perfect until just a few months ago.. then the end key started going fast. I have had mine for three years in December, so that is pretty good I think. Of course, there is about a pound of dust in the screen...

While I have been using the Jelly Bean alpha, I also was very happy with CM7.2 with Holo Launcher and Achep's ICS theme...
